    Does anyone have suggestions on what product or what company can remove the gasoline smell from the interior of a car? My dad had some spill in his car and the fumes are just horrible. Airing it out is not fast enough. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    what?! the smell of gasoline is awesome. i love breathing it in whenever i'm filling up. if they made air fresheners with a gasoline scent i'd be all over them. although i suppose after an extended period of time it could become a little overwhelming.

    Actually I've removed cigarette smoke by placing apple slices in the car. The apple slices took on the smell. After separate 2 applications (removing the old apples and replacing them) over 4 days, the smoke smell, which was bad, was gone and didn't come back. Will it work with gas? I don't know, but I still think the match thing is a good backup idea. Just be sure to take some before and after pics to post on the board - you'll be famous!
